Here is U.S. Senator Cruz in 2013.

Now you know why he is supported by the Bush family.

My city is being overtaken by Chinese immigrants. Seems MORE than half the people around me don’t even speak English. Housing starts of these ‘apartment communities’ are popping up everywhere AND THESE NICE LIVING QUARTERS ARE NOT FOR WE NATIVES. Something is going on and it’s NOT pretty.

Ted has “evolved” they say. Maybe largely due to the pressure from the Trump side.

“Here is U.S. Senator Cruz in 2013. “

‘This amendment will REMOVE the path to citizenship.’

This is such an old story debunked last year.

I congratulate the one who posted the video so I can make up my own mind and not be led astray by ant-Cruz sentiments.

Ted Cruz will never be able to change a policy.

Donald Trump can go from abortion advocate to anti-abortion, and on many other issues.

One is countenanced, the other is not.

Why are changed positions only allowed for Trump?

IOW blow the walls down, open all the doors and windows and flood the nation with low cost labor to mollify his GOPe masters and their Big Business bosses. As an extra bonus, insure the Democrats victory in elections for at least 100 years, maybe more.

Looking at what Cruz stood for in context and most of the time is far more important than particular stances he may have taken for tactical reasons during Senate debate.

Enforce the law against millions of illegals currently here
RUBIO: As far as Ted Cruz’s record, I’m always puzzled by his attack on immigration. Ted, you support legalizing people who are in this country illegally. Ted Cruz supported a 500% increase in the number of H-1 visas, the guest workers that are allowed into this country, and Ted supports doubling the number of green cards.

CRUZ: It is not accurate what he just said that I supported legalization. Indeed, I led the fight against his legalization and amnesty.

RUBIO: Does Ted Cruz rule out ever legalizing people that are in this country now?

CRUZ : I have never supported legalization, and I do not intend to support legalization. Let me tell you how you do this, what you do is you enforce the law. I’ve laid out a very, very detailed immigration plan on my website. It’s 11 pages of existing federal law and in particular the question of what to do with people who are here now? You enforce the law. We can enforce the laws and if we secure the border, that solves the problem.

____________________________________________________________

http://www.factcheck.org/2016/01/cruzs-conservative-credentials/

Club for Growth says its congressional scorecard “rewards free-market champions and exposes big-government, tax-and-spend politicians.” Cruz scored 92 percent in 2014 and 100 percent in 2013 on the Club for Growth scorecard, ranking eighth in 2014 and first in 2013 among senators. By comparison, Paul scored 95 percent and 97 percent, respectively, in the last two years — ranking fifth in 2014 and third in 2013.

Cruz scored 95 percent on the National Taxpayers Union’s 2013 scorecard, ranking the Texas senator third out of 100 senators. That was even slightly higher than Paul, who scored 94 percent and ranked sixth that year. Both received an “A.” (NTU has no 2014 scorecard on its website.)

Cruz did even better in the American Conservative Union ratings. Cruz got a perfect score in 2014 and 2013 and has a lifetime rating of 100 percent over his first two years in the Senate. Rand Paul scored 96 percent in both years and has a lifetime score of 98 percent over four years.

____________________________________________________________

If you believe the rumors about Cruz and want to reject him for infidelity, and if you choose exactly the right nuance so you don’t have to also reject Trump for the same reason, it’s impossible to argue with that (until we find out if the rumors are true). However, Cruz has consistently argued in front of the Supreme Court as a pro-states-rights small-government literal constitution conservative. Cruz has consistently voted as a conservative, so that it’s hard to find even one better choice in the Senate.

Taking tiny nuggets like this out of context presents a deceptive picture. It’s like filming a happily married man for a decade and only showing the brief moments when he turns his head to watch a woman other than his wife. Yes, it happened, but what does it actually mean? I’d rather go with a quote from President Reagan:

“Somebody who agrees with me 80 percent of the time is a friend and ally, not a 20 percent traitor.”

Cruz agrees with me and with the vast majority of those on FR close to 99%. That’s good enough for me. Cruz is a friend and ally, my second choice, right behind Trump.

In 2013, Sen. Cruz proposed amendments to the “Gang of 8” bill that would strengthen border security, expand green card opportunities, increase high-skilled “H1B” visas, prevent illegal aliens from receiving welfare benefits, and enforce the rule of law.

2013?

This is 2016.

Times have changed. Donald has changed. Ted has changed.

It's crystal clear Ted wants to help Wall-street and Illegal, not Main Street American families and workers. We don't need more Skilled Immigrants, we need less and we don't need any illegals or unskilled labor at all

Hear! Hear!

Ted Cruz will have a revolving door to the Whitehouse with a red light above it.

When Cruz learns, he acts...

“In order to protect our national security and serve American workers, he will suspend and audit H-1B visas and halt any increase in legal immigration so long as American unemployment remains unacceptably high.”

“Introduced with Jeff Sessions the American Jobs First Act of 2015, to reform the H-1B program, curb abuse, and protect American workers.”

https://www.tedcruz.org/issues/secure-the-border/

Ted Cruz, Jeff Sessions Roll Out Antidote To Broken H-1B Program: American Jobs First Act

“This legislation would improve wage standards for the H-1B visa, block its use as a cheap labor program, and scrap the terribly abused foreign worker “training program” which has become a backdoor method for replacing American workers. It would also eliminate the diversity lottery, which has become yet one more avenue for low-wage labor. In every sense, this bill is the exact opposite of the I-squared proposal which was written by and for industry interests, and which would further drive down wages for American workers. I hope the Senate and House will take up and pass the “American Jobs First Act,” and send the message that real immigration reform answers to the American people, not the special interests.”

Trump's not the same guy in 2013 either!

None of his many "fans" would have been beating down his door then, if they knew his stances - no matter what he says now.

Remember, he's said he can change any time to anything, when he wants to - I'm still waiting for that to begin.

He’s still a member of the Cheap Labor Express. He just likes cheap high tech labor as opposed to cheap low tech labor like most of these amnesty whores.

Come on! This was a “poison pill” - the only thing that stopped the “Gang of Eight” amnesty bill, just as it was intended to do.

This has been pointed out SO many times. Why do you guys have to be so dishonest?
